Interim UFC bantamweight champion Petr Yan, in an interview with Sport-Express at the RCC press conference, shared his reaction to compliments from famous fighters.
– ATT General Manager Richie Guerrero called you a honey badger. This is a ferocious and courageous mammal. Masvidal compared with a computer, Porrier called the best boxer. Is it nice to hear all these compliments and which one is the most popular?
“As for the honey badger, I haven’t heard. I will return to him. Who said that, Lambert?
— Richie Guerrero, general manager of ATT.
— Ahh. Well, I’ll go back there and ask him for honey (laughs). Of course, it’s nice to hear all this. These are guys who are already accomplished athletes, it’s very nice to hear that, what else can I say?
On October 30, Yan defeated Corey Sandhagen via unanimous decision at UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi to become the interim champion.
